CS3 Compatability - Version: 3.6, 8/23/2007 11:06AM PST

I have found this does indeed work with CS3, however only the PPC version.
The plugin will not load if you are using the Intel version of CS3.
So we beg, pretty pretty please update?

For the most part, good. Some bad. - Version: 3.6, 8/21/2007 06:14PM PST
Jason!
THE GOOD
I too have confirmed this still works with Adobe Illustrator CS3. It is also one of the few bar code generators to have the global insight to make codes other than those used in the blessed US-of-A. I applaud the developer especially for his work in enabled Japanese JAN code creation. The codes generated are very clean and the scaling and verification features are quite nice indeed!
THE BAD
1) Despite the claims of this being version 3.6, when you install the plug-in and launch Illustrator CS3, you will get a dialog asking for the serial. That dialog says its version 3.5. I suppose that dialog could simply be old, but there is no way to tell. Using Get Info on the plug-in doesn't tell you the version. And the interface inside Illustrator doesn't tell you either. So regardless of whether this download is the latest version or not, the fact is, we should be presented with an easier means to find out the version you are using, especially within the Illustrator interface.
2) The font size for the text at the bottom of JAN-13 codes is too big. It's about 1pt too big, in my tests. The text is so big, it quite nearly slams against the bars! This doesn't happen with UPC or other codes, so it's clear that this is a fontsize bug for JAN code creation. While I can hand-fondle the font sizes myself in Illustrator, it would be best if this tool properly sized them right in the first place. This is especially true when you generate a lot of bar codes. Why should I be forced to fond the text size of every single JAN-13 code I generate with this software! Please fix this ASAP!
3) This is a repeatable crashing bug. Sketch a bar code in Illustrator with this software. Click the pop-out menu. Choose Edit Font Replace. Don't do anything other than click the OK button. Illustrator CS3 will crash (suddenly quit) a second or two later. I've repeated this bug multiple times. It crashes my copy of Ilustrator CS3 (PPC version) every single time its tried.
If "THE BAD" can be fixed soon, I think that without a doubt, this will indeed be the number 1 choice for Mac using bar code creators world wide!

Remember to uncheck "Open using Rosetta" once you’re done with your barcode creation, in order to gain back full Intel-speed.
